ADS-B

ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) is a technology used in aviation where aircraft automatically determine their position using onboard GPS and broadcast this information to other aircraft and ground stations. This system improves situational awareness and safety by providing real-time location data, enabling pilots and air traffic controllers to see precise aircraft positions without relying solely on traditional radar. ADS-B enhances safety, efficiency, and coordination in the airspace, especially in busy or remote areas, by allowing better tracking and proactive management of aircraft movements.
